This is easy to make and filling. As written, I topped with Monterey jack cheese, but I chose smoked paprika over the regular variety. That really brought out more flavor and went nicely with the soup. I made this as written and although it was very good, I thought some more seasonings would be good. Next time I'd add smoked paprika while it cooks and maybe some cumin as well. Thanx for sharing!

Followed this recipe to the tee. Easy easy. I cooked up everything and decided to finish it off in my slow cooker and off for my day. Came home, made a great salad per your suggestion, put out some tobasco for those that like an extra kick, different cheeses (because I like choices) and from all said, it was a terrific Shore dinner. I like a bountiful table, lots of pretty plates (all different), glasses for a fruity wine from a Hopewell Winery, YES, this was deserving of an easy 5 stars for simplicity and perfection. GOOD. *I doubled the recipe and after the beach, etc., the grazing was pretty impressive. Thanks Greg.
